Read the first 7 Workplace Violence Prevention flashcards as text

  1. Which federal agency publishes the 'Preventing Workplace Violence: A Road Map for Healthcare Settings' guideline?

    Answer: OSHA

    OSHA published guidelines specific to healthcare settings due to the high rate of workplace violence in hospitals and care facilities.

  2. An employee repeatedly sends threatening emails to a coworker from an anonymous account. This behavior is BEST classified as:

    Answer: Cyberstalking or cyber harassment

    Repeated threatening electronic communications directed at a specific individual constitutes cyberstalking or cyber harassment.

  3. The concept of 'targeted violence' differs from other workplace violence because it is characterized by:

    Answer: A deliberate process in which the attacker selects a specific victim

    Targeted violence is planned and purposeful — the attacker identifies a specific target and follows a pathway toward violence.

  4. Which action should HR FIRST take after an employee reports that a coworker made a veiled threat?

    Answer: Document the report and notify the Threat Assessment Team

    The first step is to document the report and refer it to the TAT for structured evaluation rather than acting unilaterally.

  5. Which statement about workplace violence prevention training is MOST accurate?

    Answer: Training should be role-specific and tailored to identified risk factors

    Effective WVP training is differentiated by role — front-line employees, supervisors, and security staff each need different skill sets.

  6. A security practitioner is reviewing a terminated employee's access rights. Which is the BEST practice?

    Answer: Revoke all physical and logical access simultaneously at the time of termination

    Best practice is to revoke all access — physical and digital — simultaneously at the moment of termination to eliminate risk.

  7. What is the MAIN advantage of an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) in a workplace violence prevention strategy?

    Answer: It offers confidential counseling that can address stressors before they escalate

    EAPs provide employees with confidential mental health and counseling resources, helping to address personal crises before they escalate to violence.
